Ben-10 birthday card

Ooooooh........how long has it been since I made a male card, then?........Not too long, I know....I know......but this one is for Rhys, my nephew, who turns 12 in a couple of weeks.

Rhys is really into Ben-10, and all his adventures..........so, went searchin' on the webby netty thingy, and found a freebie colouring page.....love it when a plan comes together......oh heck......never thought I'd quote someone from the "A Team"........used to watch it when I was a kid......smirk! ~~~

Here's the result...............

All the DPs are from Hot off the Press, and I inked the edges of everything to death....lol......

Coloured up this cute ickle fella with Promarkers, cut him out, put him up on foam pads, added a brad to the pocket of his jeans.........Rhys has got a watch like Ben-10's, so I took the colours from that....ha!.....You can't see very well, in the photo, but I pricked holes all around the brown background, and around the green tag, too........

Added the tag with his age on....just in case he forgets how old he is.....lol........

Anne-Marie, my boy loves Ben 10 too! Really good idea and I think the star is perfect(even falling) BTW, I think Kenny K has a boy that looks alot like Ben! Anyway, Happy Birthday to your boy!

AM, what a kidder you are saying you were watching the A-Team when a kid..... Had to pick myself up off floor, landed there as was laughing so hard! Even I admit to being a teenager when that show was on...

Enough silliness. You truly created an amazing card and I am sure Rhys will love it. After all you are the Queen of male cards!

Hehe I used to watch the A-Team when I was in high school, try to avoid counting the grey hairs when I look in the mirror! Great card for a Ben 10 lover, colours and patterns work beautfiully together.

Rhys is really going to like this! I'm not even "into" Ben 10 and I do! Things I especially like about it are: the way Ben's shirt is colored, the brad on his pants, the way you incorporated Rhys' age into the card without making it look overdone, and the Happy Birthday stamp --- o.k, I just like it all.
